Workforce planning

Helping you to have the right people providing high quality care and to help your business grow

We have easy to use workforce planning resources. These can help you to develop a workforce plan.

Why have a workforce plan?

A good workforce plan will help your organisation be more successful and make sure that you have the right people in place to meet the changing needs and future opportunities for your business.

The right people are those who are keen, skilled, have the right values and know what they are doing. These people will provide high quality care and support and help your business to grow.

How our resources can help you

Our resources are especially developed for small and medium sized organisations and explain:

what workforce planning is

why it’s important

what are the principles for it

who should be involved in it

how it fits with how services are commissioned

how workforce information should be used including data from National Minimum Dataset for Social Care (NMDS-SC)

how to do workforce planning using a step by step method.

Our practical workbook has everything you need

Our workbook takes you through the whole workforce planning process using a practical analyse-plan-do-review method.

This is done by giving you important questions to answer and key tasks for you to do. This will help you to pull together a clear picture of what your organisation looks like now and helps you to plan for the future.

The workbook comes with a USB which contains all the tools and templates you need.
